Integy aluminum gearbox

Just got back from a test run with my new gearbox and it worked great! I didn't want to spend $70 on a box I would scuff up right away so I went with the Integy Evolution and I'm pretty happy with it. My normal running temp is around 170* and after installing the box and hitting it hard my temp was 110* It is cooler today but I'm sure it would still drop by a nice amount on a hot day. If anyone is having temp issues, get an aluminum gearbox!

Yeah...RPM doesn't make an aluminum gearbox. I didn't get a whole upgrade set, just the box. I highly doubt the gearbox is gonna bend and they don't need mods like some of the other ones on the market. I personally wouldn't buy anything aluminum other than a gearbox but that's just me. Did you even read my post?

@O.G. - I've heard some bad things on here about REM so I stayed away from them. Most people with an Integy box seemed happy with it. If it fails, I'll probably go with an FLM but I figured for $35 I'd try it before dropping almost $80. So far, I'm very happy with it. I'll report back after a few months.

that flm looks nice and looks like there is room to put a heatsink and fan on the motor but doesnt look like u can use half the rpm parts with that one. i would want to keep the rpm motor protector, rear bumper, wheelie bar mount, and all that stuff n looks like i would only be able to do that with the integy.

Yeah I read your post seen integy went to their site for a Laugh went looking for those GBoxx covers and seen the upgrade had to say something about them using FRP thats just cheap of them in that So-called hopup kit for $100 Had to lol because i've seen the end results of those things but not the Gbox covers if they hold up i might get them, The thing that concerns me is the quality of the Alloy and the Suspension hinges during bashing those bend and lock onto hinge pin oh fun times i would have.

I've heard way too many bad things about Integy but I've never seen anyone say something bad about their gearboxes. For $30 I figured I'd try one. It's going on my speed setup so I highly doubt it will bend anything. We'll see how well it seals the grease in but so far it hasn't leaked. My stock gearbox leaked after the first time I used it.
